Scented Climer Needed!

Hi,
I have recently bought a property with a north west facing balcony.
I am after a scented climber to go on a west south facing wall. There is a balcony above mine creating some shade.
The plant needs to be able to thrive in a pot suitable for a balcony and hopefully benefit wildlife.
Any suggestions will be greatly received.
Regards Robert

Tracalospermum jasminoides is a lovely evergreen twining climber which would be another idea. They are expensive to buy but well worth it. The flowers are white, elongated bells in clusters and heavily scented. There is a variegated leaved one but it is hsyer to flower.
Sorry about the name but I do not know if it has a garden name. You will need to feed and top up the container regulary, and if really cold weather is forecast, wrap the pot in bubble wrap to prevent the roots of whichever plant you choose from being frozen.
Thank you for all three of your suggestions. I will bare all 3 in mind them and run them past "OC House"
Regards
